The Matrix Franchise Might Continue, But Not Get Rebooted

The recent news that The Matrix franchise was going to be rebooted caused an uproar on the internet, prompting Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk, Pacific Rim: Uprising), who is supposedly writing a treatment for a new Matrix movie, to start a tweet stream clarifying that the series is not being rebooted, nor should it be.

All I can say at this point is no one could or should REBOOT the Matrix. People who know Animatrix and the comics understand.

So, what’s the new Matrix movie going to be about if it’s not a reboot? Early speculation that it might involve Michael B. Jordan as a young Morpheus is apparently just one of several ideas that Warner Bros. is kicking around.
